There are three major revolutionary changes that have led to the information society. First is the breakthrough development of semiconductor technology, which began with the invention of the transistor, the base of today’s most complicated semiconductors. Second is the development of the Internet, which has made it possible to distribute information on a worldwide scale. Last is the Mobile revo...

My book, The Darwinian Revolution gives an overview of the revolution as understood at the time of its writing (1979). It shows that many factors were involved, from straight science through philosophical methodology, and on to religious influences and challenges.

Instead, today’s successful big data ...
